'No conflict within the team, all of these things have been made up'
Kolkata: According to a television interview, newly appointed Test skipper of the Indian Cricket Team shocked everyone where he revealed that Team India took a few doubtful decisions in the lost ODI series against Bangladesh, citing a possible rift in the Indian camp. But now former India captain Sourav Ganguly on Thursday rubbished all such reports of internal conflict within the Indian camp.
"You get to hear all these when a team loses and has not played to their potential. I believe there is no conflict within the team, all of these things have been made up," Ganguly was quoted as saying, according to a report in ‘CricketNext’.

Kohli had earlier expressed concern over the Men in Blue’s decision-making. "Not too happy with the way we have played. We have been sort of doubtful in our decision-making and that shows on the field," Kohli added.
Other members from the team such as Suresh Raina and Ravichandran Ashwin backed Dhoni. Expressing disappointment over India's performance, Ganguly credited Bangladesh for outplaying India. "It is disappointing (the result). But Bangladesh have played brilliant cricket, credit should be given to them," he said.

Ganguly also supported Dhoni's decision to bat up the order. The southpaw also asserted everything was fine with BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya.
According to media reports, the Supreme Court appointed the Justice Lodha Committee and they found the board’s president’s speech to be ‘incoherent and incomprehensible’ when it met him in Kolkata on Tuesday.

BCCI released a statement on Thursday squashing all such claims and ‘Dada’ too said, "Our president is absolutely fit."
